Forgot to mention that Krylon's mate coat is actually in the arts and crafts section, not the spray cans.

Thanks again. I ordered from walmart online. They didn't have the low odor, but they had the normal clear coat and some testors. Going to pick it up in store this afternoon.
...and so, it begins. |

One word of advice, some stickers will refuse to stay on (claws) and others simply look bad (sword), so use only the ones you think look good, otherwise it'll become a stickered mess.

Im debating getting into Minipla building, decided DX mecha is an unsustainable hobby along with transformers, Lego and Play Arts Kai, so my question is, is there a particular line that people recommend starting on? I was tempted by Kyoryuger as its the first sentai ive really gotten into from the start, but Gokaiger and Gobusters still have a fair bit of appeal.

Outside of that, Goseiger is great if a little hard to find outside of Mandarake occasionally (in fact I think there's a decent set on there at the moment). Go-Onger is also great, but tends to be a bit expensive, and the same with Shinkenger. Hope this helps! |

If you can, Goonger and Shinkenger are great.

Kinda disappointed (Though not dissuaded) with my first attempt.
So, I opened box one of Bragigas and went the sticker route. I then used Krylon matte spray clear coat after. Next up, I opened box 2, did some painting with elmer's painters pens and really liked what I saw. Then I did the clear coat. In both cases, the clearcoat muted the colors, and while it made the raw plastic look better, I don't think it did much for the stickers or paint. I think I'm going to go into the next one doing 100% paint and no clearcoat and see how that turns out. |

Another suggestion for a beginning MiniPla collector: Gekiranger. There were some good designs in that series that were too static in their DX toy form, but are fully posable and dynamic in their MiniPla version.

There is Gekiranger Minipla? Jungle Fury is my favourite Ranger series, and they had some awesome Zords in that show.
